We moved into a new area and everyone in the neighborhood planted new landscaping. We got rid of the spindly tree and added a nice palm. Got rid of the pine straw and put down mulch rather than stones because it helps retain moisture. We also had heard stones could get hot and "fry" the plants in summer. One thing we did spend a tad of extra $ on was rerounting our sprinklers and added sprinkler heads to the area where we added new plantings. It was well worth it. Neighbors did not do this and they had two palms die because they didn't get enough water
